"(Rumor has it that the first series was finished in 7 volumes and that Tanaka is currently working on a second series of Arslan that takes place three years after the first.)" - I edited this out. For one, the series is nowhere near being finished at the end of the seventh volume, although it is a conclusion to the first part of the story (it very loosely corresponts to the last episode of the anime). However, the story continues for another 4 (as of now) volumes. Two, I haven't heard of any rumors of a second series. There has been only one side story (about a pre-series adventure of Daryun) as of yet.
(A second series is quite inconceivable, regarding that the author seems to have abandoned Arslan. At least, in my personal opinion the reason Arslan is not finished yet is that Tanaka simply got bored of it or ran out of ideas.)

[edit] "Unfinished OAV series"?
Wasn't the OAV series finally concluded fairly recently?
- I haven't heard anything about this - if you did, please provide a source for this info.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Both are acceptable. It's true not being concluded as a story(because the original novel still continues...). But it is true not to schedule the continuation of this anime version of Arslan to be released either. Because Kakugawa that has related with this series has not enjoyed a right any longer, the series more than this cannot be releaced. The DVD box only with existing titles is already sold in Japan. At least, Sony doesn't intend to continue the series any further...--Morio 19:27, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Names
Fixed a typo and added a line about the origins of some characters' names.
I have some problems with how the article deals with the names of characters and countries. I'll write a proposal when I have some free time. Until then, I advise everyone interested to read the article below, and count how many names they find that also appear in Arslan: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/Farr/shahnamecharacters.html (The spellings may not be same as in the official English version of the anime - but bear in mind that the names of the characters in Arslan are not supposed to be spelled according to the rules of the English language.)

[edit] Nargasse name not Persian ?
Hi all,
I do not know much about this manga, but you can a name close to this one in Persian culture. "Nargesse" is a common name for women. I would thus suggest to change this in the article.
Cheers, Keizer
